Trained in music,
singing metals, Tai Chi Chuan, and labyrinths, Sara Olsen offers
opportunities for healing experiences to individuals and groups.
Music to soothe or energize is offered at bedside, chair side, or
during a labyrinth walk. Sound
baths using gongs, singing bowls, or tingshas help release energy
blockages, balance energy or just provide enjoyment. A labyrinth walk
can be a meditation, a respite from life’s frantic pace, or a
problem-solving session.
